It's not true that this phone have only 500 names in phone book. This is unlimited because they have a outlook. Same is for call log....Unlimited incoming, outgoing, missed and dialed calls.

Hi.

I have found the image quality to be ok compared to my friends Sony phone (not sure what model but its quite new) Take a look at some of the pictures taken with this phone.

Taking photos at night is not as good compared to some of the Sony / Nokia phones out there but after playing with the settings you can get some quite good images. There somtimes is a bit of a delay 1-3 seconds after you hear the camera shutter sound before the image is actually taken some photos can be messed up because of this unless remember to keep the phone still.

Sound quality - This was a real pluss with me. I had an XDA II before this phone and the sound was nothing compaired with some of the new MP3 phones. Now with this phone the sound is good / loaud , lacks in bass somtimes but has settings to correct this.

Pros -
Good PDA phone that looks like a phone
Screen is good in sunlight
good sound
good camera
Wifi, BT, TV, Radio
Speed of application - good
very good battery life + comes with spare battery

what sucks -
Wifi detection after new firmware was installed
Long time for Blue tooth to find devices
Keypad - could be a bit bigger
Keypad software - Texting on a Nokia is much better unless you use the touch screen.
TV reception could be better - Takes a long time to find stations (ok when stations are saved)

Hi everyone.I'm interested in this phone but I haven't yet made a decision to buy.
I ask ones who own this phone to inform me and other friends like me about some issues and help us make a better decision to choice our future mobile phone.
1.how is it it's camera pictures quality in comparison with other 2 megapixel handsets like sonyericson p990 or nokia n73?
2.how loud and clear is it's speaker in comparison with other well known mobile phones like nokia n70 or nokia n73?

I have upgraded to the latest version .84 Turkey and am now having problems with the WIFI. The list of access points will show for a few seconds then disappear even though they are still in range and the problem never happened with the old firmware. Even connecting to Access points which have the settings saved are intermittent, I have to turn off and on the WIFI to connect. Any one else have this problem??

I am rather disappointed with the purchase of this GSmart PDA due to the following reasons:
1. Ever since I bought the phone last month, there are numerous occassions where I did not receive incoming calls. My guess is the problem may be due to the Windows OS crashed/hanged as I don't even receive "missed calls" notification. But what is the cause of the device/OS crashing so often?
2. When the phone is on speaker, the receiving end seems to be unable to hear the conversation clearly (ie. very soft at the receiving end). Why would this happen, especially when the volume is turned on full++??

To Bull:

All Symbian 9.1 phones suck and yet Nokia and SE are insisting on it.Gigabye might be a newcomer in phone business , but they sure have managed to design a very workable and stable device.

This brand is not specilazed in producing gsm phone or pda as well as Nokia, Sony Ericcsoon or Blackberry so I dont advise you to buy it.

Hi Donni
Thank you for your enquiry about my problem, it was very kind of you.
Just to test, I hard reset my i120 and again, the "Smart Keypad" was working.
The first program which I need to install on my device, becuase I live in Iran, is Pocket Arabizer (I'm not sure if you're familiar with it) which consists of approximately 6 or 7 programs which install one after another automatically; of course, you can choose to install them individually.
One of the programs which is installed with Pocket Arabizer in an input method which allows you to write Arabic (or Farsi) text.
When Pocket Arabizer installation finished, I noticed that again the "Smart Keypad" began to malfunction.
I suspected the input method to be responsibe for this. Do you think that the continuous installation of the program caused the problem?
And it was just after installation of Pocket Arabizer that "Smart Keypad" malfunctioned and no other program was installed.

HI, fazard and all others, i'v made an entensive enquiry into your problem (smart input malfunctions after application installations/ or general system instability) . It appears these things (problems) MAY occur if many applications are installed directly on the phone memory within a short time or simultaneously, however after many reboots most get corrected. Its recommended you install compatible applications one after the other and at least leave 3-5 mins before installing the next. That greatly ensures stability. AND prevents you from experencing these problems. Where possible always over right applications to the memory card that is if you have one installed and applications are not primary

Hi Donni,
Thanks for your reply,
I upgraded to the latest version (.84 Turkey) as you had said in one of your posts.
And yes, when it started to download, I pluged in the AC cord.
"Smart Keypad" was working (although not so satisfactory as you work, for example, on a Nokia keypad) when I upgraded, but when I installed some applications, it began to malfunction.
I think if I hard-reset my device, it would work again, but I want to have softwares on my device and I need it to work with other applications on my device.
Thank you again ...
